A few days ago we added GeoRSS to our site - a relatively little known way of associating items in an RSS feed to their physical locations. Within hours this had been used to create a mashup combining the weather and properties in Islington.
We did not expect that…
Today we are launching the first version of our API. This will let you easily search property listings. Not only do you get where the property is but you also get a thumbnail, details of the property and a link for more information.
We are making this data freely available (subject to a few conditions) because we hope that there is an appetite for it. Getting all the listings together and keeping them up to date is not trivial and we don’t want this to prevent you from doing great things with it.
There is a sweepstake in the office as to what you will do with this data, but I don’t think that we have been imaginative enough. Go forth, have fun and let us know here what you come up with.
